中文摘要
各国政府利用本国在金融与贸易关系中形成的经济实力,实现地缘政治与经济目标。我们构建了一个模型,用以说明地缘经济权力的来源及其运用方式。这种权力的来源在于,霸权国家能够将分散于不同经济关系中的威胁加以协调,以此作为对外国实体实施强制的手段。霸权国家运用这一权力,要求目标实体采取代价高昂的行动,包括加价、进口限制、关税以及政治让步。霸权国家利用其权力改变目标实体的行为,以操纵全球均衡使之有利于自身,并借此增强自身权力。一个部门具有战略性,或是因为它有助于霸权国家形成威胁,或是因为它能够通过投入产出放大效应操纵世界均衡。霸权国家扮演全球执行者的角色,因而为世界经济增加了价值,但也因扭曲均衡以利于自身而毁损了价值。
Abstract
Governments use their countries' economic strength from financial and trade relationships to achieve geopolitical and economic goals. We provide a model of the sources of geoeconomic power and how it is wielded. The source of this power is the ability of a hegemonic country to coordinate threats across disparate economic relationships as a means of enforcement on foreign entities. The hegemon wields this power to demand costly actions out of the targeted entities, including mark‐ups, import restrictions, tariffs, and political concessions. The hegemon uses its power to change targeted entities' activities to manipulate the global equilibrium in its favor and increase its power. A sector is strategic either in helping the hegemon form threats or in manipulating the world equilibrium via input‐output amplification. The hegemon acts a global enforcer, thus adding value to the world economy, but destroys value by distorting the equilibrium in its favor.
